Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 4 Hansard (7 May) . . Page.. 1079 ..

MR MOORE (continuing):

In the latter regard, the committee advises the Assembly that it wishes to report by 25 September 1997, the last sitting day in September. Given this background, it seems to the committee that it must start its inquiry by focusing, in the first instance, on issues surrounding the Ginninderra Drive and Mouat Street area. The committee intends to place advertisements in the local press this weekend, inviting public comment on the complete terms of reference but with special emphasis on the Ginninderra Drive and Mouat Street area in Lyneham.

For the benefit of members, I read out the formal terms of reference adopted by the committee:

That the committee inquire into and report on proposals for the John Dedman Parkway and Ginninderra Drive/Mouat Street, Lyneham, taking account of:

the Maunsell study and the Government's response;

other transport inquiries and studies held in the ACT, and the Government's response;

the impact of the proposals on arterial roads;

the desirability of improving the use of public transport and other non-car modes of transport;

the desirability of reducing the number of vehicles needing to travel between Gungahlin and southern destinations;

the desirability of siting an eastern ring road from Gungahlin and the Barton Highway to other parts of Canberra via an upgraded Majura Road;

existing and future traffic levels on Ginninderra Drive and Mouat Street, Lyneham - and the Government's proposals for traffic lights and other roadworks in the Mouat/Brigalow Streets area;

existing and future traffic levels on roads in North Canberra and the impact of the proposals on the residential amenity; and

any other related matter.

Further, that the Committee report to the Assembly by 25 September 1997 (the last sitting day in September).
